If the Pittsburgh Steelers are to retain the momentum they've built during their current four-game winning streak and remain atop the AFC North standings by the end of the weekend, they'll likely have to win without the services of two of their key Pro Bowl players. Troy Polamalu, who is dealing with an ankle injury, is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Heath Miller meanwhile, who suffered a concussion during the Steelers' Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens, is listed as questionable after experiencing headaches at various points throughout this week.
Let's take a look at the full status and practice report for the Steelers, as well as their Week 15 opponent, the New York Jets.
